When Timmy and Goody Tiptoes came to the nut thicket, they found other squirrels were there already.
They carried them away in bags and stored them in several hollow stumps near the tree where they had built their nest.
When these stumps were full, they began to empty the bags into a hole high up a tree that had belonged to a woodpecker.
[nuts rattling] "How shall you ever get them out again? It is like a money box," said Goody.
"Ha, I shall be much thinner before springtime, my love," said Timmy Tiptoes, peeping into the hole.

The first one sang, "Who's been digging up my nuts? Who's been digging up my nuts?" And another sang, "Little bit of bread and no cheese.
